Master Slave set up
Working with Master/Slave
Master/Slave capability is an enhancement that allows you to control up to four LPAs from a
single CLARiTY operator interface. In Auto Changeover mode, it is only possible to control two
LPA's from a single CLARiTY Operator Interface.
Master/Slave Benefits
The master/slave usage results in the following benefits:
•
Simpler coding system: Simpler setup of multiple LPAs, easier to use coding systems
•
Reduced LPA setup time: A single point of setup, reduces the setup time
•
Reduced human errors: Only one entry of data rather than several entries reduces the
possibility of setup mistakes by human error
•
Cost effective: A lower cost coding solution when multiple LPAs are required to fulfil a coding
application through the use of the Slave LPA without LCD.
•
Cost reduction and effective usage of space: All these things are achieved without an
additional controller or PC on the production line.
•
Reduced downtime: One unit will continue to run whilst consumables are changed on another
•
Reduction in missed labels: One unit will continue to run whilst the other unit is in fault or is
placed in OFFLINE mode
